~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

None of this is surprising to me at all. I’ve been seeing hints of a toxic ‘hustle’ mindset in their videos for quite some time and have commented as much on the videos. I’ve worked in environments just like this and once you’ve lived it it’s easy af to spot.

Linus probably says ‘I don’t ask anything of anyone that I don’t expect of myself’ and then goes on to expect someone making 50k to put in as much time and effort as he did when first starting LTT/LMG.

You don't hire your partner as the head of HR unless you want to hide a bad work enviroment.

Right? How do you go to HR if he harasses you? Yeah so I know y'all live together but like it's really bad?

Oh I thought she was head of accounting. I didn’t realize HR. Conflict of interest much?

You're right actually. Point still stands somewhat, the whole thing is fucked

Didn't Coulton mention HR was his purview?

U do that when u think its a stupit position that doesnt really mather when u got a company of 10 to 20 people. When u hire lets say 90 poeple it starts to breakdown.

HR has always been to protect the company, not employees.
